SosMula: It’s rap rock vibes on display in the ‘MERCEDEZ BRAZY’ music video
Could you rock out and rap in at the same time? Turns out hip-hop rocker SosMula is going pedal to the metal in a new ‘MERCEDEZ BRAZY’ music video.
Pure toughness and fun on display in this wild visual? You bet. Tap in.
Few artists have fused alt-rock, metal, and trap as effectively as SosMula, the moshpit maestro who rocked sold-out crowds worldwide as a member of City Morgue. Free to follow his own muse after that duo's split, Sos switches up his usual style on his new single, "MERCEDEZ BRAZY." Trading his usual trap percussion for a skeletal drum-and-bass groove, Sos takes listeners back to the high Goth era, crafting a haunted anthem worthy of Bauhaus. Indulging in his vices after a break-up, the vocalist goes on a rampage, populating his subdued flow with wild ad-libs as he resolves to make it big on his own: "Do me a favor, don't do me no favors," he intones.
"MERCEDEZ BRAZY" arrives with a haunted sci-fi music video, cribbing from classics that range from Blade Runner and I, Robot, to Frankenstein and Escape From New York. In the video, Sos and his android companion tear through a dystopian city in a bright red Mercedes, enjoying a torrid love affair as the world falls apart around them.
Fresh off signing his new deal with Ricky Hil's Limosa Nostra Records, in a JV with Atlantic Records, SosMula is ready to make a major solo impact with his next album, KAMP KRYSTL LAKE, a wide-ranging exploration of the New York-via-Brazil artist's wide-ranging sounds and horrorcore aesthetic. Taking his dark trap sound to its limit, the album finds Sleezy on a mission, locking into each song with his animated delivery in an attempt to burrow into listeners' subconsciouses. Home to recent singles "PROJECT BABY" and "TRENCH BRAZY," KAMP KRYSTL LAKE arrives on October 31st via Limosa Nostra Records / Atlantic Records.
Born Vinicius Sosa in Sao Paulo, Brazil, SosMula and his family moved to New York when he was young. The family moved around a bit, but eventually settled in Spanish Harlem, and the young Sos grew up fully-immersed in the hip-hop culture of the Five Boroughs, while also falling in love with the era's hard rock and heavy metal music. After years of attempting to balance his love of music with the allure of the streets, SosMula formed City Morgue, pioneering the trap-metal sound as one half of the celebrated duo. City Morgue was massive in the underground, racking up billions of streams and selling out dates with their raucous performances and uncompromising sound. During his time in City Morgue, SosMula continued to make his own solo albums, including his 2021 debut 13 SONGS 2 DIE 2 and last year's 29-track SLEEZ RELIGION.
Now with City Morgue officially split, SosMula looks to show the world what he can do on his own. He has a strong partner in his corner in the rapper, singer-songwriter, designer, and entrepreneur Ricky Hil, who signed Sos to be the first artist to release under Limosa Nostra Records, in a joint venture with Atlantic Records. SosMula and Ricky Hil launch their "KILLA SEASON TOUR" in February, featuring music from KAMP KRYSTL LAKE and Ricky's upcoming album, 10,000 Grams.
Stay tuned for much more from SosMula and Limosa Nostra in the near future.
